Canada is about ready to ban all handguns, throughout the country.

Personally, I hope our neighbors to the North do not do this, but if they do, their crime rates will continue their rise that began as soon as their severe limitations on handguns began several years ago. Canadians blame the U.S. for exporting guns and "gun crime" to their country, which probably has some truth to it. Criminals come across the border, just like much of the crime int he Southwest of the U.S. is brought over from Mexico. It's worse for Canadians because they have been disarmed by their government...only the bad guns will have any guns if this law passes.
Just look to Australia and the U.K. for what happens to crime rates when the criminals know their prey are defenseless.
